Colorado Jeeptober 2026

Let's add a permanent tax, meanwhile:

1. Population is declining because we aren't having enough kids leading to lower enrollments
2. The more money put in schools the lower the outcomes we have in education (reading levels, math proficiency, etc)
3. The schools have enough money, but they hire more and more administrative staff (aka they're a jobs program)

But but but. Think of the children!!





But don't think of the children's family
 
Our small little town of 3000 people had decided they needed more money. So they allowed housing to start. Planned an additional 10000 homes. So if the average house has 4 people. You can see we don't have the infrastructure for it. So classrooms are sitting at 50 students per teacher.

And they keeping trying to pass a school funding.

Borrow $50 mil. Pay back $100m. On the tax payers

Smdh. It will pass this year. Whether or not gets the votes. It will pas
 
Once you ding dongs realize it's not a blue thing or a red thing (took me awhile) and that it's an every single one of those sumbitch politicians, then we can get along better and make it a better place.




... Back to Jeeptober talk.
 
See if we can keep Mike right side up for a full day

Welp, here we go. Jeeptober has been a great end of season run for a lot of us. I don't want to see this tradition die, so LET'S GET IT ON!

WHEN: Saturday, October 3rd

WHERE: Chinaman Gulch, Buena Vista

Requirements are as follows:
  • 35" tires
  • At least one locker (preferrably two, it makes for a long day for everyone else when they spend time dragging you over obstacles if you don't have them)
  • Skids/armor if you don't like scrapes or dents. Skids/armor even if you do like scrapes and dents
  • Tools
  • Sense of humor
We used to post a second run (mild, but each year it has less interest- usually one, maybe two jeeps) So I'm not going to offer it this year. If others want one, post it up.

Meet at gun smoke at 8:30, air down depart for trail at 9.
12916 US-24 #285, Buena Vista, CO 81211

Please post up if you plan on going and I'll update this first post.

NEEDS A VACATION DAY BUT IN FOR SUNDAY
NDSpeed

I'm in!
 
Well snap. I've been AWOL this whole summer. Haven't been wheeling since Sand Hollow and looking to get out. Took all summer to get my truck situation sorted. I just talked the wife into letting me take next week off to head out and camp for Trail Hero, but BV is much closer. Actually jumped on here to see if anyone might want to try and hit something tomorrow or Thursday somewhere in CO - but weather doesn't look super favorable. Got to pick up a friend on the front range on Thursday sometime...

Dang.

Normally I'd be able to jump on this in a second. I'm on vacation right now but working through some small issues on my rig to get it ready for the 3rd.

Double Dang.

Anyone going to be running anything, camping, etc before Saturday's run on the 3rd? Might bring my oldest son (9) with me. Hard to give up a whole week of wheeling with high probability of good weather in Utah for only one day here, but It's certainly closer and that's appealing.
I've got to be back in Pagosa by Saturday evening.

On a side note, I need to figure out how to actually stay updated on this forum. I evidently marked something as spam one time and stopped getting notifications...
